How Do You Beat the Cold?



What do you do to keep warm?

  1. 1. How do you beat the cold?

    • Exercise more. It gets my metabolism going and keeps me warm for hours. Plus, I burn extra calories!
    • Drink some hot coffee or tea to warm up my insides. Plus, since my weight loss surgery diet doesn’t let me eat solid foods when I drink liquids, drinking coffee or tea keeps me from turning to food to warm me up.
    • Turn up the heat or start a fire in the fireplace, pile on the blankets, and distract myself from the cold by reading, playing board games, using the computer or talking on the phone.
    • Nothing in particular, but I need help! Since weight loss surgery, I have been less able to tolerate cold than I used to be.
    • I hate to admit it, but the only thing that warms me up is some good old comfort food…macaroni and cheese or freshly baked cookies. Luckily, I can’t tolerate much after weight loss surgery!
    • Other (tell us!).

I have to wear a jacket at work. After a workout, I reward myself with the hot tub and sauna at the gym. Then I can brave the below zero windchills. At home I use a blanket always. It's true that since losing weight I get cold and have a hard time warming up.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
